This page links to the TE Guidance, other relevant FHWA procedures, financial management, accessibility, and summaries of State practices. Many pages redirect to TAP pages. The TE Guidance webpage is consistent with the Recreational Trails Program (RTP) Guidance webpage. Some resources applicable to the RTP may be labeled Transportation Alternatives Program, and some resources applicable to TAP/TE may be labeled Recreational Trails Program. These programs can and should work together toward common goals. TAP/TE and RTP program managers should work together.
